Carol Webber yields to the vaccination
Shot victims react
After standing in line for as
long as an hour to get the
swine flu vaccination last
week, students gave various
reasons for doing so.
Said Brenda Worlie, "I'd
rather stand in line than die."
Jim Spon commented, "It's
a good waste of 15 minutes,
but I suppose it's a good
idea."
"If there is a flu like this I'll
probably get it," stated Karin
Carlson.
"Mom told me to," said
Shelly Andrews.

Senators underscore
student responsibilty Clarion
Bethel College
St. Paul, MN
October 22, 1976
If Bethel any indication, Ford will
decisively defeat Carter in November
by Diana Gonzalez
Various student senators were
asked to respond to an informal
survey on student opinion about
Senate. Most students that had
been interviewed had a negative
attitude toward how they were
being represented by Senate and
the amount of contact they had
with their senators.
"I would say that last year as a
student I was in the same
position," said Jon Berry, sopho-more
class senator, "I now don't
feel that way at all."
"I wish students would realize
how much time we spend a week
on Senate-related activities. I've
sometimes put in up to 20 hours
in a week," said Jon.
Tannie Woods, freshman sena-tor,
emphasized that the relation-ship
between senators and stu-dents
entails mutual obligation.
"It's not just the senator giving all
to the students or the students
giving all to the senators."
Tannie commented that the
ratio between students and sena-tors
is 140 to 1. "It's hard to get in
contact with them all. Yes, I do
have a responsibility to them, but
I think they also have a responsi-bility
to me."
Tannie added that the senate
should be more well-known for
the projects that is undertaking,
"because it's doing a lot." She
mentioned parking, voter regis-tration,
student-faculty commit-

tees, financial decisions, later
library hours, the blood drive and
the Old Campus coffee shop.
"It's not that senators in any
way attempt to cloister them-selves,"
said Gary Setterberg,
senior class senator. "It's that the
students often don't realize that
they must share the burden of
expressing their wishes and
feelings."
"Senators need to make them-selves
visible and available,
which I believe we are attempting
to do," added Gary. "But we can't
represent our fellow students
very well when they hesitate to
share with us."
9.1/1 Kramer said that "we as
freshman senators are working
on a newsletter to put either in
the Clarion or to have in some
way financed by Senate. We'd
like to do it once a month."
"Maybe the paper could pub-lish
our names and PO's," Bill
added, "I think if there are
legitimate complaints people
should come to us with them."
"I feel frustrated because we
don't know how to go about it,"
said Chuck Haaland, senator-at-large.
"We were trying to get a
deal going where we could have a
talk with students twice a month,
but chapel is already planned up
to November."
"It seems that when it's
Student Senate Day in chapel,
attendance goes way down.
Nobody really cares about what's
going on."
"Every year we emphasize that
our senator meetings are open,"
added Chuck. "When there is a
controversial issue being dis-cussed
then more students
come. But usually in regular
meetings other students don't
come."
Dave Johnson, senate vice-president,
reacted negatively to
last week's article. "I think the
article misrepresented Senate by
not asking more pertinent ques-tions,
such as 'Do you really
care?' and 'Have you gone to
Student Senate Chapel?' "
"I feel that if people really care
the information is available," said
Dave, "I think that constituents
need to press the senators more.
Senators are willing to listen, but
they need more student feed-back.
It's a two-way responsibil-ity."
by Barb Kolmodin
If the presidential election was
held today on Bethel's campus,
President Ford would apparently
be the victor. A survey taken last
week showed that 52 per cent of
the students responding are
planning to vote for Ford, while
27 per cent favor Carter.
Gus Hall of the Communist
Freshman senator Steve Hos-well
said, "It's the senators'
responsibility to make the Stu-dent
Association a part of
students at Bethel."
"As far as their knowing what
we are doing, there is a Taylor-
Johnson column in the Clarion,"
said Jon Berry. "I think they've
done a pretty good job of stating
what we're doing."
"I really wish that students
would come to Senate meetings
so they could see all the red tape
we have to go through before we
get something done," said junior
senator Jodi Nystrom. "I think
that if they were more aware of
what we go through they might
be able to understand a little bit
better."
party and Lester Maddox each
received one per cent of the vote
from the students, and several
others acquired less.
14 per cent of the students
were still undecided and those
refusing to participate in the
election amounted to four per
cent.
Students were asked if they
had watched at least one presi-dential
debate and 74 per cent
said they had. Twenty per cent
more men than women watched
the debates, with junior men as
the largest group that watched.
The survey was less decisive
concerning which candidate won
the debates than it was on voting
preferences. Ford was favored by
36 per cent of those surveyed and
20 per cent thought Carter won.
many students considered the
debates a draw or remained
undecided.
The survey showed a strong
tendency for students to favor, in
the debates, the same candidate
for whom they planned to vote.
Only 4 per cent of the people who
watched the debates planned to
vote for the candidate they did
not consider the winner.
A large number of people who
did not see the debates, checked
their preferred candidate as also
winning the debates.
